If I remember correctly, there were mostly negative posts about this place after it opened last year. (Maybe you could do a search to find the old posts.) If you decide to try Black Pearl, let us know what you think!

Black Pearl isn't the best, but it isn't that bad. I like their brunch deals. The service was kind of off the few times I went. Once it was so slow 2 couples walked out, another time I received somebody else's entree. Since I work odd hours, I like that the kitchen is open late.

I went there a short time ago with my wife. The pizza was excellent. Nice and crisp and smoky, IMO better than Anthony's which is further down the Slope. I had fish, which was also very good. It was a sunday, so I was abit leery about ordering seafood, but it was very tasty.
